The Cora Hartshorn Arboretum & Bird Sanctuary is a non-profit organization in Short Hills, New Jersey, managing 16.45 acres of woodlands with 3 miles of trails that support a diversity of plant and animal life. Founded on land gifted in 1923 and developed as a place where wild things could grow free of harm, the site serves as an interpretive space that integrates arts, science, and the humanities to foster understanding of the relationship between people and the environment. The arboretum operates within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, collaborating with the local community to preserve the area and provide educational experiences. Located in the greater New York metropolitan region, the organization is supported by a community of volunteers and staff to maintain its natural resources and public programs. A notable recent development is the completion of building renovations in 2007, reflecting ongoing efforts to update facilities while continuing to offer trails and habitats for visitors.
